Title: Improvements in Stencil Copying Machines.
Inventor: SCHOENING HERMANN
Filed: 1904-03-21
Granted: 1904-05-05
Abstract: 6842. Schoening, H. March 21. Copying documents &c.-Stencil copying-machines are provided with means for adjusting the sheets to be printed, collecting the ink which drips from the printing-drum while the machine is at rest, securing the ink cloth and stencil plate, and fixing the cover of the machine. A semicylindrical drum 1 is fixed to end-plates 3 which are carried by a shaft 2. The surface of the drum is perforated, and a cushion or cloth 4 saturated with ink is stretched over it. A wax stencil 5, bearing the record, is placed on the cloth and rotated with the drum over a rubber or like printing-roller 6, over which the paper passes. The paper is pushed over the roller 6 against a bar 8 on a plate 11. When the drum is rotated, the plates 3 act on rollers 9 carried by levers 10 which also carry the plate 8, which is thereby rotated into the position shown in dotted lines. Fingers 14 on the levers 10 then act on projections 15 on levers 16 which support the roller 6. As the parts 12 of the plates 3 pass over the rollers 9, the levers 16, which are normally held by springs 17 against stops 18, are rotated downwards, carrying the roller 6. The stencil is thus brought into contact with the roller 6 without shock. The bar 8 having been depressed, the paper 7 can be moved during the copying process. The ink which drips from the drum when the machine is not in use is led into a vessel 21 by a plate 20 which can be pushed between the drum and printing-roller. The plate 20 is fixed to a lever 22 movable about a stationary pivot, and is pushed over the roller 6 by means of a lever 25 and finger 24 on a shaft 23. A receptacle may be pushed between the drum and roller to collect the ink, or a receptacle under the roller 6 placed in connection with a trough above the roller. The cloth 4 is attached to the drum by means of loops at its ends through which iron rods are passed. One of the rods is held by studs 28 on the drum and the other by springs 29, or both may be held by springs. The wax stencil is secured at one end to the drum by a loop and iron rod held by studs. The other end of the stencil is also provided with a loop through which an iron tube, rod, or strap &c. can be passed to serve as a handle or for attachment to the drum. The machine is provided with a cover 31 which may be secured by pins 34 pressed outwards by springs fixed on the bottom plate so as to enter holes in the cover.

Title: An Improved Sealing Device for use with Bottles and Jars.
Inventor: HEATH WILLIAM ELISHA
Filed: 1904-07-26
Granted: 1904-09-01
Abstract: 16,535. Heath, W. E. July 26. Stoppers; capsules, bottle, jar, and like.-Relates to a sealing-device for bottles and jars, comprising a metal cap adapted to form a perfect seal, which can be easily removed from the bottle &c., without the use of a tool for the purpose. The cap 4, Fig. 1, has a narrow horizontal flange 5 and a depending flange 6, the latter extending slightly below the bead on the bottle neck when in operative position. The flanges 5, 6 are divided by a radial slot 7. Formed integral with the cap and occupying the space within the flange 5 is a fingerpiece 8, which is joined to the flange at a point at right-angles to the slot 7, as shown. The cap is preferably stamped from a single blank, and then bent to form the flanges 5, 6. In operation, a flat disc of cork &c. 9, Fig. 5, adapted to rest on the bottle mouth, and a flanged disc 10 adapted to embrace the mouth of the bottle, are placed in the cap 4, which is then applied to the bottle, the flange 6 being forced by a suitable tool into engagement beneath the bead 3 on the bottle. To open the bottle, the finger-piece is bent upwards and lateral pressure is applied to it, so causing the flanges 5, 6 to separate along the line 7, when the flange 6 can be disengaged from beneath the bead 3. To prevent distortion of the cap previous to use, it may be covered with a flanged disc or cap ; or, a narrow protecting-strip may be placed around the flange 6. Previous to opening the bottle, the flanged cap may be forced from its position, and the protecting- strip around the flange may be either broken or slipped off. In a modification, the finger-piece may be formed integral with the depending flange and adjacent to the slot, and the top of the cap may be made solid instead of in the skeleton form shown in Fig. 1. In this case, the dividing-slot must extend entirely across the top of the cap, to facilitate opening the bottle.
